kggx Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Sorry for bumping this old thread. I had some free time again and started again to convert the old models and textures to a modern shading format. I have made this little tool in Substance Designer to convert traditional textures (Diffuse,Normal,Spec) to modern PBR textures (Base Color, Normal , Metallic, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion). It is for sure not the perfect and automated results will not give you the perfect result but I think its less time consuming and less complex than editing every single texture in Photoshop. If you got questions feel free to ask^^How does it work? Simply get Substance Player (Free on their website -> https://www.allegorithmic.com/buy/download (You need to create a account)) After installation, open my tool inside of Substance Player. Drag in the Textures on the "Place Bitmap here"-Area (_col is color, _nor = normal, _par = parameter) + Additionally you can import the .obj by draging it in the lower left area. Play with the Values untill you're happy. Press "Export as Bitmap" Specify Target Folder Specify Filename (I use this: *ObjectName*_%O) [%O = the maps will be named properly] Press Export and you have your PBR Textures BF_TradToPBR.sbsar Edited April 1, 2018 by Kiliangg Fat4life likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DepressedCat Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 @solcrow sick tool you created! I noticed that the FBX export fails when the model has open faces and the mesh is not completely closed. The model displays correctly in the viewer though, maybe the export can be fixed? An example would be: gfx\monument\frostland\frostland_monument_previz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piersonmp3 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 So... is there a way anyone knows of I could take these model files and convert them into something I can 3d print? Fat4life likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kggx Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Again resurrecting the thread: Someone mailed me and I got into it again... I used some early stuff already done by others here in the thread and started working on a mass converter to GLTF (universal 3d file format). Early version up on Github but I'm able to convert the raw geometry to a GLTF: https://github.com/kggx/BattleForgeToDDCs Metagross31, Ladadoos, Chimaka( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and 4 others like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go hogwild with the printer :p @Fat4life: There are a dozen converters from .gltf/.glb to .stl^^ Since my script is in like pre-alpha state (should work fine for all meshes geometry but its user unfriendly), I'd suggest checking out solcrows app. It can export .drs (you need to unpack the files ) to .fbx however its one only model at a time. With the generated fbx you can use any fbx to stl converter. But I think he had issues with some models if I recall correctly.

kggx Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @Fat4life Here are the files you need. (different converting techniques, see what works best - also there is a standard and a damaged version [...s_0, ....s_2]) -> Can't upload here directly since it the file is too big, so Google Drive it is.

Fat4life Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Here's a test print of the Ice barrier 3d model, with another model for reference (thank you @Kiliangg ) Im gonna try and paint one of them to the best of my abilities, see how that goes.

However I have no time atm to dig in deeper or produce a version simple enough to use for the regular user.

Ultralord Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 First of all: Big thx to all you posted something in this topic. It was a huge help! I thought I post my story to the 3D Print topic to maybe inspire some to give it a shot too. I buoyed my self a 3D Printer and was thinking, if I could print a Juggernaut or something like that? I Don’t wanted to start with something to complex so I choose a building to start. --> Amii Monument sounds cool So with the help of this Forum-Topic, I found the pak file, exported the files and viewed them via LightSong 0.5 Spoiler Realization 1: The model was in the inactive state. So export the Model as an obj, import it in Fusion 360 and pulling stuff around. Spoiler Export as STL and import it in to Cura. Spoiler Realization 2: The print would Take 13,5 hours… And i only have green filament... Spoiler The filament I’m using is cheap and blocked the nozzle. It would be cool to have it all in one piece, but I just printed the rest in a second run and stuck it together Spoiler The result didn’t look to bad: Spoiler Realization 4: If you have an active Amii Monument -> You need an Orb. So I took out my crazy bad soldering skills, some LEDs and som cling film Spoiler The plan is to replace the foil with a table tennis ball 😉 I have added the STL file if someone want to print his own Amii Monument AMII.stl Ladadoos, Volin and Dallarian like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultralord Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Since @xsissel joined the “BF-3D-Printing-Peoples” I wanted jo share some pictures of my Juggernaut (which is acutely the Incredible Mo Statue) I posted them on discord, but if you are new to this stuff, I think you would start by looking in the forum and not the discord. (At least for me the discord search is… “interesting”) First I placed the statue lower than the print bed so I will have a free standing Juggernaut Spoiler After alot of support removing it looked like this: Spoiler This time i wanted to try painting it so we stared with the evil cousin if the wight Juggernaut -> the “Black Juggernaut” Spoiler Last layer was the Juggernaut colors – but im not a big fan fine work like this Spoiler *.OBJ File is attached – happy printing MFG Ultralord building_legendary_statue_module1_s0.obj Mynoduesp and xsissel like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsissel Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi, sorry for my late response @T1421. That obj file is GREAT! When I got a little more spare time on my hands I will defenitly print it. I got the Photon Mono X printer, which can print in super high detail, i think ill do a mini sized one and a bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultralord Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 On the trail of Super Weapons, you can’t miss on a World Breaker Gun!!! Had to split the model in 4 Parts else it would not be possible. (Also did some changes to the model, so the printer had it ab bit easier) Spoiler And still there were a lot of support needed: Spoiler Happy Printing 🙂 WB_Canone_Base.stlWB_Gear.stlbuilding_frost_superweapon.objWB_Base.stlWB_Canone.stl Majora, Metagross31 and Hirooo like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralord Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Was not the smartest idea to use a 3D printer with a 220 C° hotend and a 70C° printing bed when your flat has already 38 C° 🔥 Spoiler Also tried to paint again… lets say: I made a first 3D design how a monument could look like on a mud-map 😅 Spoiler Happy Printing monument.stl LEBOVIN, Kapo, Volin and 1 other like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralord Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Another model, another Print (but i only had 10m of blue filament left so its very small 🙂 ) So this time we have the T3 Frost Stronghold Spoiler For its size of 7cm there a still a lot of details (and stinging) But the cannons have seen better days Happy Printing frost_fortress.stl Volin and Mynoduesp like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynoduesp Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 @T1421 I reccomend you to increase your retraction setting and set z-hop to 0. This stringing looks out of hand. 😅 Also, nice to have found this thread, I might give it a go with my pronters. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
